Native Installation (Linux)

The Native Installation method is ideal for deploying EasyEdge Node directly on a supported Linux-based device. This approach gives you full control over the environment and is well-suited for industrial gateways, edge servers, or even virtual machines.

🎥 Video Tutorial: Watch the full step-by-step installation walkthrough below.

Prerequisites

  • Operating System: Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Yocto, OpenWRT, etc.)

  • Supported Architectures: ARM, MIPS, and x86 (all available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions)

  • Minimum Resources: 128MB RAM and 128MB storage

⚠️ Note: These are the minimum system requirements. Actual hardware needs may vary depending on your project setup and configuration.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Add a New EdgeNode

In EasyEdge Studio, open the System where the EdgeNode will belong. Click Add EdgeNode to start the configuration wizard.

2. Select the Host Profile

Choose Linux Standard or another profile depending on your device.

3. Configure the EdgeNode

  • Name: Set a descriptive name

  • Architecture: Select the CPU architecture of the target device

  • Installation Path: Set the installation directory (e.g., /opt/EdgeNode)

4. Set the Target System

Confirm or change the System. You can also create a new one directly in the wizard.

5. Review and Finish

Check your configuration summary and click Finish to generate the install command.

6. Run the Installation Command on the Host

Copy the command generated by EasyEdge Studio and run it on your Linux device.

This will:

  • Download all required EdgeNode binaries

  • Register the device

  • Create system services and finish the setup

7. Verify Status in EasyEdge Studio

Once installation completes, the EdgeNode status will change from Onboarding to Healthy (Stopped). It’s now ready to start the project configuration.
